The Muppets have only been headlining their newest attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios for a couple of months, but Disney is already moving forward with another project in the same corner of the park.Following the successful debut of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets earlier this year, construction walls have now gone up around the nearby restrooms, marking what appears to be the second major project within the newly established Muppets-themed area. While Disney has only described the work as a refurbishment, the timing has fans wondering whether this could be another step toward expanding the land’s overall identity.Credit: DisneyAt the moment, Disney has not announced any additional Muppets-themed additions beyond the coaster. Still, with work now underway just steps away from the attraction’s entrance, speculation has naturally begun.Construction Begins Near Rock ‘n’ Roller CoasterGuests visiting Sunset Boulevard will quickly notice that the restrooms located beside Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets are no longer available. Disney has surrounded the entrance with tall rolling planters and dense greenery, preventing guests from seeing any of the work taking place behind them.Reports from WDWNT confirmed the closure.Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Restrooms Close for Refurbishment at Disney’s Hollywood Studioshttps://t.co/rGOAhKJP3b— WDW News Today (@WDWNT) July 11, 2026The company has also installed a custom directional sign featuring a map of the surrounding area that points guests toward the nearest available restrooms near Villains Unfairly Ever After. Unlike the temporary signs Disney often uses for brief maintenance closures, this one was designed specifically for this location, suggesting the refurbishment could remain in place for an extended period.Disney has not shared exactly what work is taking place or when the facilities will reopen.A Growing Muppets PresenceThe timing of the refurbishment is particularly interesting because it comes shortly after Disney officially transformed Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster into Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets.The attraction represented one of the biggest entertainment changes at Disney’s Hollywood Studios this year. The Muppets took over the longtime coaster, introducing new scenes, updated story elements, and a fresh identity for one of the park’s signature thrill rides.While replacing an existing attraction is a major undertaking on its own, Disney rarely thinks of projects in isolation. The company often looks at how entire areas of its parks function, from attractions and restaurants to shops, pathways, and guest amenities. That broader approach is one reason fans have continued to wonder whether the Muppets could eventually spread beyond the coaster itself.For many guests, the area still feels like it’s in transition. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster now serves as the centerpiece, but much of the surrounding space hasn’t yet received the same level of themed attention. If Disney ultimately wants this corner of Hollywood Studios to become a more recognizable Muppets destination, future enhancements to nearby buildings and facilities would make a lot of sense.For many fans, that raises an obvious question.Would Disney stop with just the attraction, or would it eventually begin transforming the surrounding area into something that feels more like a dedicated Muppets land?This latest construction project doesn’t answer that question, but it certainly keeps the conversation alive. Even if the current work is limited to updating the restrooms, the project shows Disney is continuing to invest in the area instead of simply moving on after the coaster’s opening. That alone will likely keep fans paying close attention as construction progresses.Credit: DisneyCould the Restrooms Receive Muppet-Themed Enhancements?Right now, there is no indication that Disney plans to add Muppet characters, props, music, or themed décor to the restrooms. Officially, this is simply a refurbishment.However, Disney often looks for opportunities to improve the storytelling around popular attractions, especially when work is already being performed on nearby facilities.Even something as simple as updated exterior colors, themed signage, humorous Muppet-inspired posters, or references to classic characters could help the area feel more cohesive without requiring a massive investment.It’s worth remembering that Disney frequently layers new theming into existing spaces over time rather than unveiling every element at once.That gradual approach has been used throughout Walt Disney World, allowing Imagineers to improve guest areas during routine refurbishment projects.Imagine walking into a restroom where the background music features Muppet favorites, the signs include jokes from Kermit, Fozzie, or Gonzo, or the walls feature backstage props that tie into the story of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. None of those additions would require a complete overhaul, yet they could significantly strengthen the area’s identity and make the experience feel more immersive for guests.Whether that’s happening here remains to be seen.More Could Be Coming LaterWe’ve long believed that Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster may only be the beginning of Disney’s plans for the Muppets at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.While the coaster serves as the area’s centerpiece, the surrounding walkways, merchandise locations, food stands, and guest amenities still leave room for additional storytelling. Incremental projects like this restroom refurbishment could provide Disney with opportunities to continue building the land’s overall identity over time. Could the Disney Villains Unfairly Ever After show just be a temporary holding piece for a new Muppet show? Only time will tell.Credit: DisneyThat doesn’t necessarily mean guests should expect elaborate new attractions or major construction announcements. Instead, Disney could slowly introduce themed details that make the area feel more connected, creating a stronger sense of place without requiring another headline-grabbing overhaul. Disney has taken a similar approach elsewhere across Walt Disney World, using smaller projects to gradually reshape an area over several years rather than completing everything in a single phase.For now, though, that’s only speculation.Disney has made no announcement suggesting the refurbishment includes any Muppet-themed upgrades, and it’s entirely possible the work is focused solely on updating aging facilities.Still, with this becoming the second active project connected to the Muppets area in just a matter of months, fans will undoubtedly be watching closely to see what emerges once the construction walls finally come down. Whether it’s simply refreshed restrooms or the next step in a broader vision for Muppets Land, the work signals that Disney isn’t finished investing in this corner of Disney’s Hollywood Studios just yet.The post Confirmed: Disney Launches 2nd Muppets Land Expansion at Hollywood Studios appeared first on Inside the Magic.
